A member asked:

Last question docs...relation between anal sex and inguinal hernia if any?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Anal sex & Hernia?: There is no relation to these two separate issues. Anal sex is common and safe within certain boundaries. Inguinal hernia is a weakening or defect in the groin muscles within the inguinal canal.

None: No relation of hernias to sexual activity, other than the symptoms of a hernia may prevent it.
